Trivial things that make you happy - Part 2 - The Happyning

Sometimes the Daily Mail comments section is all I need in life.

Was reading an article about some celebrity split, a couple from Made in Chelsea who had released a very respectful statement about their breakup, "we still love and respect each other as friends" blah blah

One of the comments underneath made me laugh out loud:

I'm always baffled by these statements...if I'd made one when I split from my ex it would say "I've finally got rid of the loser and feel he's a total waste of space and am ecstatic that I never have to look at his weasel fave ever again...thank you so much...." the end

Meeting up with very old friends! it's like you have your own language

The best is when you haven't seen each other for a year or more and everything still just falls into place and you pick up where you left off.

Got a dig out for my assessment, got it started today and sourced most of the quotes for it too.
AND I've figured out how to cure the toothache that has been dogging me for almost two weeks, without gobbling expensive painkillers.

How GOOD life without pain is!!!!!!

Can I ask how you cured the toothache ?

Old fashioned saline rinse. I started gargling the side that had the ache(as much as I could tolerate with the sensitivity) with very lukewarm salted water once an hour for a few days and then three times a day, each time making the water slightly warmer. Then once the sensitivity allowed, one in the am and pm.

*Dentist is a big fan of salt water for dental issues and advises it for lots of gum issues.

You are welcome, no need for anyone to be in pain for the need of a half a spoon of salt and lukewarm water.

I've got another little house guest this time a butterfly, for the last couple of days. I don't think I've ever actually held a butterfly - they are darned hard to catch. I thought it was on it's last legs as it was a bit docile when I saw it on my living room floor but later if fluttered around the palace. Unusually it will crawl onto my hand if I put it my hand in front of it and nudge it a little. I have no flowers in the house and was wounding to myself if I should buy some fresh ones as they only seem to eat nectar - then again if anyone found out I bought flowers for a butterfly they might think I've lost the plot altogether.

Try and put a drop of sugared water near it, it might go for it if it's thirsty/hungry.

EDIT: NVM, Srameen got there first.

I tried that - didn't work. However since I posted I got it to go back on my hand and put some of the sugary liquid on my skin and it lapped it up with it's elephant trunk like snout. I'll put it out as Srameen suggested - but not tonight as the it's a shockin night out weather wise lol

Amazing, isn't it?

I love this kind of stuff!

My bed makes me happy . And nothing that needs me to get up in the morning . So I can wallow in its comfyness

We were planning on going out tonight, but neither me, nor my flatmates felt like it. Glad we're all on the same page. So sleepy

My Mum looks after our eight-month-old daughter, and she's always chatting to her, and then answering back for the baby in the thickest, exaggerated midlands accent

Just now

"What are you doing in that playpen?"
"Yerra I'm having a lie-down girl, layve me be"
"oh I'll leave you so"
"Is it me or is it could in here? Turn on the heater, Mary"
"Oh, lady muck"

This goes on and on all day. it's actually very sweet to listen to.

Graces7 · 18-09-2018 08:37AM

watching a cat wash himself! so intense and thorough it is. every last furhair has to be clean,, or as someone once said, covered in catspit rather than "clean"

Not feeling good but that is making me smile! Critters are great!

I found out a new trick for youtube; if you type the word repeat into the website address straight after the word youtube it will play the video on a constant loop.
Also when it asks you to sign in because a video isn't age appropriate or whatever, just do the repeat trick instead and you can watch it anyway
